What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems. This involves the development of algorithms and techniques that enable machines to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and self-correction.

AI can be broadly classified into three categories: narrow or weak AI, general or strong AI, and superintelligence.

Narrow AI refers to systems that are designed to perform specific tasks, such as speech recognition or image classification.

General AI refers to systems that can perform any intellectual task that a human can do.

Superintelligence, which is still largely theoretical, refers to machines that surpass human intelligence in all domains.
